"The Belzec camp is built underground. It is an electric
crematorium. There are two halls in the underground
buildings. People were taken out of the railway cars
into the first hall. Then they were led ***** to the second
hall. Here the floor resembled an enormous plate. When
the crowd of men stood on it, the floor sank into a pool of
water. The moment the men sank up to their necks, a powerful
electric current of millions of volts passed through, killing
them all at once. The floor rose again, and a second
electric current was passed through the bodies, burning
them until nothing was left of the victims save a few ashes."

Jewish Antifascist Committee*
*The Jewish Antifascist Committee (JAC) was formed in Kuibyshev in
April 1942. Two Polish Jewish socialists, Henryk Erlich and Viktor
Alter (both of whom were
later secretly executed), may have proposed the idea to Lavrenti
Beria, the head of the NKVD. The
organization was meant to serve the interests of Soviet foreign policy
and the Soviet military
through media propaganda -- as well as through personal contacts with
Jews abroad, especially in
Britain and the United States, designed to influence public opinion
and enlist foreign support for
the Soviet war effort.The Jewish Antifascist Committee (JAC) was

Probably because they crippled their science programmes by forcing out Jews.
